brooders
Dwelling on things
Brooders are devices that provide warmth for young poultry or other animals, replacing the heat a mother hen would supply: The chicks spent their first weeks under brooders.
The word also refers to people who dwell on dark or anxious thoughts—those inclined to sit with their worries the way a hen sits on eggs: He was one of those silent brooders who never said what was bothering him.
